Female growth and offspring quality over successive spawnings in a caridean shrimp Neocaridina davidi (Decapoda, Atyidae) with direct development
This study analyzed the quality of recently spawned eggs and of juveniles over five and six consecutive spawns, respectively, in a caridean shrimp Neocaridina davidi with direct development. The potential energetic antagonism between reproduction and somatic growth was also evaluated. The number of...
